One threat model is the nearby person at the coffeeshop (or whatever) being able to scan the large QR code that comes up as soon as you click that button in the header. Many other things in the he...
We added that drop-down menu in response to requests from community members. Yes there's a link in the footer (and that has been brought up before), but many feel that we need something a little m...
The scope of the Electrical Engineering community is up to them. If you want to propose changes, you should ask on their meta. We don't impose scope on communities; we allow communities to define...
There is some amount of subjectivity in evaluating proposals, which is not ideal. It's important for us (all, together) to figure out how we can improve our process. Ultimately we probably need t...
I think what you're asking for is (1) better information about votes you're receiving, so you know which posts are being up- or down-voted, and (2) for that information to be available in one place...
Speaking for myself and not the team (I haven't discussed this with anyone else), here are some things I'd like to consider: We shouldn't try to programmatically determine what a "minor" edit ...
We have a tool for doing bulk imports of questions (and answers) from SE. It has several limitations: Running it requires direct DB access. The resulting data is sometimes wrong in various ways -...
Welcome to Codidact. I'm glad you found your way here. In case you haven't seen it yet, The Codidact Vision lays out, at a high level, what we aspire to build. We put community first, and feedba...
Deferred. We would like the community switcher order and the dashboard order to match, and currently we don't have any UI for a user to change that order. When we add a network profile we'll have...
If we allow immediate updates to be "folded into" the original post, I would want to block it if anybody has interacted with the post -- if someone voted in that first minute, then an unannounced e...
This makes sense. The search-results page isn't "in" a category (same as the list of users, help, and some other pages aren't), so we'll need to add something to choose what category to create the...
This is now fixed. A "copy" button appears in the top right corner of a code block on hover (desktop) or on tap (mobile).
An alternative approach would be to have the concept of organizations but not separate accounts. A user who is a member of one or more organizations could have a way, when posting, to say "on beha...
While reviewing older bugs we discovered that this problem no longer exists. I'm sorry we didn't catch this at the time; I don't know if someone fixed it but we failed to update here, or if it was...
Sometimes several questions are closely related and are best handled as a group, as this answer says. Sometimes the asker (who is, pretty much by definition, less expert than the people who will a...
We currently use Discord for community chat. Not everybody uses Discord and that's fine; nobody is required to be in chat. Someday we would like to remove our dependence on a third-party service,...
Speculative Science The scope of Worldbuilding.SE is very broad, ranging from hard-science questions about orbital mechanics to questions about the design of magical creatures. Some users from th...
This is fixed now. We know that the error message isn't very informative; we'll try to address that later. But you now get one of those pink pop-up error messages if you try to link a post to its...
We have an issue open to fix this in the code, but I recently realized that moderators can also fix it locally: the close reasons are editable. I've edited it here on Meta to say "This question ha...
For some but not all users, the post counts are showing as 0 when that's clearly wrong. For example: That's from elsewhere on this page. The numbers also show as 0 for me in the user list (and...
I'm speaking only for myself here. Unfortunately, we're still kind of winging this, and learning as we go. We now realize we launched some early communities without enough active, engaged members,...
I strongly agree that being able to add a new answer after a question has been deleted doesn't make sense, and that most people also shouldn't be able to add comments. (Moderators should be able t...
Thank you for raising this question. We've been a little vague in our plans for comments, aside from (irony alert) comment threads in some Figma wireframes that aren't the most visible. Speaking f...
The terms of service and code of conduct linked in the footer of every page on every site point to pages on Writing. That's because Writing was first and a standalone site before we added network ...
